High-mass microquasars consist of a massive star and a compact object, the latter producing jets that will interact with the stellar wind. The evolution of the jets, and ultimately their radiative outcome, could depend strongly on the…
In this lecture I review the theory of magnetized accretion discs driving jets, with a focus on Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). I first introduce observational and theoretical arguments in favor of the ``disc wind'' paradigm. There, accretion…
